Wow! that was dark. A very fun game too and all the minigames were very well made to be self explanatory with the stressful factory worker feel shining through in every aspect. The random presents falling off the line and blocking your path was a very good addition to increase variety. The thought that the little train going around the christmas tree is integral to the work of the factory is also very funny. I would have loved to see my score/presents made on the end screen so I could brag to my co-jammers. Great entry!
When I saw a tumbnail for this game I wasn't expecting such a grim and interesting story. Particles indicating a problem could be showing faster, so the player have time to react. But overall good game.
Pretty cute game! The conveyor belts look pretty cool.
In shutdown mode, I would sometimes run out of time just walking over to the area where the problem was. Not sure how to improve that. Maybe a separate timer for the shutdowns?
Ho Ho Ho! 🎅🏻
I did not expect this type of setting in a game about santa and elfs, but it was very cool. I think it would be better for the gameplay if each system failure would be hinted in advance that it would happen, then make the interval of malfunctions faster, so there is more chaos but you can decide which would be the best route to handle them
Nice artstyle and gameplay, altough I found that 30 seconds each attempt made me a bit more frustated with small things like getting stuck around the area, which I may have overlooked if the time was a bit more generous, but overall its pretty challenging and fun! The elfs speaking during the gameplay was very nice and entertaining, much like the notes inbetween shifts.
I am obsessed with the art style of the game; the art direction that was made here was something truly done with effort and care! Only downside is I kept spamming E, and tried to drag with my mouse, but alas nothing would happen, and I wouldn't know how to stop the red alarms! So, I'd suggest maybe adding more guidance because even when I followed the description, I wasn't able to stop the red alarms! But, despite that the atmosphere you built was absolutely phenomenal, you should be proud!
Very nice game! The graphics and the sound were really good! The only thing that riuned it a bit for me was that the game didn't exactly explainm me what to do, i didn't know what to interact with and what not. Other than that, great game!
Gotta love Christmas in July! Really fun concept and I loved all of the elf dialogue
Really interesting concept, but I couldn’t figure out what I could and could not interact with, I think adding a E prompt or a symbol when I’m in the correct position to interact would help, or a pointer on where to stand. Really well made atmosphere, I really felt like a stressed elf. Little Timmy’s letter to santa was hysterically funny. This was truly an ambitious game with unique and interesting interactions. I think faster walk speed and a smoother collision shape to get around obstacles would enhance the sense of urgency in this game. I can’t believe I got hit with a 6-7 near the end :( I hope Tyler is on the naughty list. Overall the vibes were great. Excellent work!
I liked the setting, and the writing was hilarious....I'm authorizing unpaid overtime! :)
Good job!
Loved the concept, I was a bit confused at first though
The narrative is super unique i like it ! The graphics could use some work tho
Santa is a Slave Driver! Hilarious!
Christmas countdown is always a good idea
